For her insightful, humane portrait, reported with great difficulty, of men on Death Row in Texas who play clandestine games of “Dungeons & Dragons,” countering their extreme isolation with elaborate fantasy. (Co-published with The New York Times Magazine.)
I'd encourage anybody who read this story to check out Pablo Torre's story on Charles Flores, an inmate on Texas's death row who was convicted, in part, by the state's use of junk science. His version of D&D is the Dallas Cowboys.
Texas has passed laws seemingly designed to make death row and other prisoners suffer. There was a Muslim on death row who wished to meet with an imam AS WAS HIS RIGHT. In response to his request, Texas passed a law banning visitation by any religious official or figure, not just Muslims.
